Trend spotting: fair trade rhassoul clay and herbal tonics

Exciting news are that I have found some excellent new suppliers of organic and fair trade skin care products that are made with shea butter, cocoa butter and jojoba oils and that are extremely suitable for sensitive and problem skin. Negotiations and product trials are still in progress but I am so excited about this I thought I’d let you know. These products are made by women for women - and men and children. From the fair trade shea butter to the hand made production with lots of attention to detail and the utmost care taken when making the creams, lotions and potions, the new skin care range will be quite exquisite and unique.


Also we shall be stocking fair trade rhassoul clay as of Wednesday 23rd April. Rhassoul clay is just fantastic: it is an extremely versatile cleanser for face, body and hair and has been used in Morocco for centuries. It may help eczema and psoriasis sufferers as well as support acne prone skin in its healing process if used accordingly. I am glad I found a supplier that supports a local Moroccan women’s co-operative where the clay is mined under fair trade conditions and sustainability is guaranteed.



Soon we shall stock Fushi tonics. These herbal elixirs come in a range of concoctions that for example support the immune system, lessen PM symptoms, are a great help during menopause and are great detoxifiers and stress relievers as well as energisers. Fushi sources the herbs for these holistic remedies in the countries of their origin and in accordance with Fair Trade Standards. Go to www.cebraonline.com from Wednesday 23rd April 2008 to order the rhassoul clay. You can order a trial size (80 grams) or the full size (500 grams).
